I said it once. If you have 6 hours, you can read the posts!

I just want to get something off my chest. How many of you have started a post, you are the O.P., and were expecting everyone who responded to you to stay on subject? I have had a few posts lately that I thought would be material that could inform others of something I thought important. The post starts out O.K. then someone will post material that has little to do with the original post. By the end the material has nothing to do with the beginning. Is this common? Am I just nit-picking? I believe that if I want to comment on something and it doe's not relate to the material, I will start a new thread.
Another problem I have run into is the rudeness. Why? If you feel you need to hurt some ones feelings to make your point, then it doesn't belong here.
I have had Handejector tell me not to let them get under my skin. He is right. I have let rude posters dictate how I would respond. NOT ANYMORE. If your response is rude you might as well leave it off because I will not respond.
Thank you for letting me vent!!

What really roasts my cookies is when someone makes a totally non related post just to up their thread count.

Who would be so shameless?

Just my opinion... but I don't think that just starting a thread makes anyone the "owner" of the following responses and the direction that the thread may take. That is especially true in the open nature of the Lounge.

That's what makes the Lounge interesting and fun for me... but again that's just me.

However, I have a different thought on some of the other sub-forums. If someone starts a thread on adjusting optical sights for the Model 41... posting a response concerning your recipe for banana-nut bread is probably not appropriate.

Rudeness does not have a place anywhere. But not everyone has to agree with everyone else as long as it expressed reasonably.

Of course I defer to Lee as the arbiter of process and decorum.

Sorry I do tend to go off the beaten path or topic at times I will control myself in the near future, sorry.

For the rest of you guys I'm laughing so hard it's a belly laugh.

This is the most polite forum on the net.

So if someone posts about his model 29 and his particular guns accuracy, then I jump in and ask if a model 24 handles much different than a 29 am I hijacking, drifting or just running on my sentences?

They say it still lives...somewhere in the depths of Threads Past.

For instance, the tread talking about airlines has one guy going off about todays lazy youth. How that is relevant to the popularity of one job from 1960 to taday i have no idea but it makes sense to the poster.

How is blaming the youth of today for everything wrong in the world off topic?

Do you like my hat?

 

[handejector]

We get bananas with the intention of eating them.

Need some help?

Folks, when a true derail or hijack occurs on a serious thread, report the post with the

at top right of every post and we might sort it out.
Don't expect any help in threads by caj, sip, or ladder, or threads that concern broccoli.

To us ex-Nukes, CTG means Coolant Turbine Generator. The Enterprise had eight of them. This is a perfect example of thread drift.

Well, duhhh-
Do you mean the aircraft carrier or the starship?

(This is a perfect example of thread drift extension)

Yeah, well of course, the Enterprise needed eight of them, what with those warp drive engines and all.

What do you mean, thread drift?

 

[wheelgun28]

In truth I have seen thread drift yield some very interesting things. However they werent exactly related to the title and I wonder if the information would be lost because of it?

I dont have a link to an example but someone may take a picture with a knife or some accessory. This lead to discourse on these items and not the gun that was the title. Some folks here have an amazing knowledge on things and we can get a good lesson on different things.

While it might be drifting it can be relevant and informative...

 

[keith44spl]

I had a thread once.............Can't remember if it was hi-jack'd er drift'd off er not

If a thread were to drift and the OP, such as myself, didn't care none...Does it really matter?

I kinda recall drifting off at times and may have accidentally caused a hi-jack...But not really sure now..........


I say we all jest go set in the shade and pop-a-top on sumthing tall & cold....We'll all talk a little philosophy

Now, what's this here all 'bout?

Actually, we had sixteen turbine generators, eight Coolant Turbine Generators, and eight Ship's Service TG's. They could ALL be configured to be either, which is why an aircraft carrier can power a small city in an emergency.

...just driftin...
